Episode 159 landed, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to depart!
Richard Green – “Ending up in the wrong way”
Richard Green is back in our latest episode with a tune that takes a reflective turn, a melodic and emotional track that quietly pulls you into its story. “Ending up in the wrong way” is the single we are talking about, released back in 2024, but it is definitely worth listening to. Richard has always built his music around one simple rule: melody comes first.. and you can really feel that approach here.
The song draws inspiration from a bittersweet relationship that unfolded in 2023, and the mood captures that strange mix of nostalgia, sadness, and acceptance that comes when love doesn’t quite work out the way you hoped (we know many of you can relate here!).
With this track, Richard keeps things tasteful and expressive, letting the lead melody do most of the storytelling.
The track also gets extra character from the blend of electronic production with live instrumentation. A soulful saxophone section brings warmth early on, while the violin later adds a more reflective, almost cinematic feel. Parts of the recording were even finalised in Italy at Studio Elfo, giving the project an international touch!
This wonderful single feels honest, melodic, and powerful: the kind of track that hits differently when you’re in a reflective mood!
Komok – “Elliptisk Galakse”
Komok is taking us on a trippy little trip through deep space with “Elliptisk Galakse”: no spaceship required! The project, led by London-based Italian composer Alessandro Inglima, dives straight into experimental electronic territory, blending acid house, IDM, and some kind of retro vibes into something that feels nostalgic and futuristic at the same time.
The track runs on a mid-tempo groove, driven by a crunchy bassline that keeps things funky while some really cool arpeggiated synths swirl around the whole thing. Super balanced here: it’s danceable, but also quite atmospheric. Instead of big festival drops, the energy builds more like a slow cosmic journey, pulling you deeper into its strange little universe!
You can definitely catch a hint of the early filtered house spirit of Daft Punk here, mixed with a more experimental edge reminiscent of Aphex Twin. The result feels very unique, slightly weird in the best way, and full of character.
As the second single from his upcoming album “Protopia”, “Elliptisk Galakse” shows Komok carving out a sonic lane that’s imaginative, groove-heavy, and unapologetically adventurous.
Magdi Aboul-Kheir – “Slow Heat”
Germany-based composer Magdi Aboul-Kheir is here to take us into a warm and deeply intimate sonic world with his ambient album “Slow Heat”. Instead of chasing big dramatic moments, this record leans into subtle emotion, building a space that feels calm, sensual, and quietly powerful from start to finish.
This is a 10-track project, an album that blends soft synthesizers with organic instruments like cello, woodwinds, guitar, and strings, creating a sound palette that will blow your mind in the best way. The music moves slowly and deliberately, letting melodies breathe and textures unfold naturally. This is the kind of album that gently pulls you in and lets the mood settle around you.
This incredible album will give you a real sense of closeness. The compositions feel personal, almost like a musical conversation about tenderness, connection, and emotional warmth. Magdi Aboul-Kheir’s musical background shapes the sound, but melody always remains the heart of the experience.
Put simply, “Slow Heat” is an immersive and reflective experience, and full of quiet beauty
The Burton D’Agostini Procedure – “Do You Feel Alright”
The Burton D’Agostini Procedure brings us a quite hypnotic track called “Do You Feel Alright”, the kind of track that slowly grabs your attention rather than trying to get you straight away. The duo, Jeff Burton and John D’Agostini, clearly know their sound inside out, blending vintage psychedelia with a more modern alt-rock edge in a way that feels super natural.
The song features some warm and hazy guitars, giving off that late-night, introspective vibe, while the production stays quite detailed without that overworked feeling. Everything sits nicely in the mix, especially on headphones, where you really catch those subtle textures moving around.
Jeff’s vocals are low-key but hit hard emotionally. He keeps everything on a reflective, almost internal delivery that makes the title line feel like a real question, and not just a hook.
This single is one of those tracks that grows on you every time you listen: dreamy, a bit trippy, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard!
Exzenya – “International Power”
Exzenya brings us her single “International Power”, and it arrives with quiet confidence, the kind that doesn’t need to shout to be heard. The track opens in a striking way, with a raw a cappella moment that instantly sets the tone before the beat drops into a very unique and modern hip-hop groove. From there, the song unfolds like a conversation about authority, legacy, and knowing exactly who you are.
This tune was very interesting in our opinion: instead of relying on aggressive energy, Exzenya delivers her lines with a calm presence, almost like someone who knows they already run the room. Her vocal style shifts between rhythmic spoken flow and melodic passages, creating a cool contrast that keeps the track moving without losing its composure.
Behind the scenes, the production keeps things sharp and minimal, letting the message hit the front line.
“International Power” really feels less like a brag and more like a statement: confident, intentional, and packed with that unmistakable CEO-energy vibe!
Alex Marone – “No Traces”
We are now sharing a track by Alex Marone that will completely change your mood today. There’s no doubt, “No Traces” is a hit! The Quebec-based artist dives into a restrained, introspective vibe with this track, making it feel quite personal.
Built around a polished production, the song gives a lot of space for the emotions to breathe. The track is quite actual, from the neat beat to the smooth melodic flow, it’s placed with intention. You can catch that unique mood throughout, the kind of track you throw on when you’re deep in your thoughts.
Alex did a crazy job with the lyrics, tapping into that phase of growth where you stop reacting to everything and just move differently. It’s not about proving a point or making noise; instead, it’s about walking away, keeping your peace, and leaving no mess behind. That “silent strength” message gets delivered incredibly well.
There are hints of influence from artists like Drake and The Weeknd, but Alex keeps it authentic.. we can hear that.
This wonderful release is mature, controlled, and effortlessly real; you guys don’t want to miss that!
Essibee – “Reignited”
Essibee is here to delight us with his single “Reignited”, like someone who’s been through it and actually made it out the other side. Zero tricks here, just raw energy and real talk, the kind that instantly feels honest.
This track leans into that classic boom bap spirit, with clear nods to legends like Wu-Tang Clan, but it never sounds dated. Instead, it’s got this grounded, no-frills production that lets Essibee’s voice take center stage. And you can tell: this isn’t overly polished or stitched together. There’s a one-take intensity to it that gives the whole thing a proper live-wire feel.
This song is all about hitting rock bottom and clawing your way back up. No sugarcoating, no fake bravado, just that gritty mindset of “I’m still here”. The hook sticks, the verses carry weight, and the message hits straight away.
This is a solid single, not loud for the sake of it, but powerful because it’s real.. and sometimes, that’s exactly what hits the hardest.
at!
Prience Moore – “What Would You Do”
Sometimes a song doesn’t need to be loud to hit hard, and Prience Moore’s latest single “What Would You Do” is exactly that kind of track. It’s smooth, stripped-back, and built around one thing: real emotion.
You can tell straight away that this track isn’t about flashy production or chasing trends. The focus is on the lyrics, front and center, telling a story that feels super personal but also mad relatable. It dives into the messy side of relationships: the hope, the doubts, the “what ifs” we all end up facing at some point.
Prience keeps things warm and honest, letting the words do the job here. There’s a bit of that soulful influence you’d expect from artists like George Michael, but it still feels fresh and genuine, not like a throwback.
The whole vibe is very intimate, like a late-night conversation you weren’t planning to have.. but definitely needed. This single doesn’t want to impress here; it’s trying to connect. And honestly, it does that effortlessly.
Senchō – “Enticing”
Senchō’s got us covered with his single “Enticing”, sliding in with those crazy and nostalgic vibes: the kind of track you throw on during a slow drive or when you’re just zoning out with your thoughts. It’s smooth, a bit melancholic, and quietly addictive.
Built around mellow chords and a solid, head-nodding beat, the track finds a sweet spot between melodic rap and laid-back R&B. The soft vocals give it a warm, hazy feel, while the flow keeps things grounded and real. This is all about mood, the one you can immerse yourself in.
The link-up with Westside Boogie works nicely too, adding a bit more texture without stealing the spotlight. You can tell the chemistry is natural, which makes sense considering the collaborative, close-knit process behind the track.
This tune feels like a stream of thoughts: personal but easy to connect with, just an honest expression riding a clean groove.
“Enticing” lives up to its name. It doesn’t shout for attention, but give it a minute.. it’ll pull you right in.
Sneeky – “Trouble”
Let’s close this chapter with Sneeky’s single “Trouble”, a beautiful track that feels like one of those quiet moments you didn’t realise you needed. It’s soft, warm, and stripped right back: just a nostalgic guitar loop, some cool ambience, and vocals that feel almost fragile in the best way.
There’s a real honesty running through the track. You can hear the imperfections, the little cracks in the voice, and that’s exactly what gives it character. It leans into that introspective, slightly melancholic space, touching on self-doubt and the constant struggle of trying to be better. It’s a wonderful track, raw, intimate, and super human.
You can catch some influence of artists like Daniel Johnston, especially in the way the guitar and vocals intertwine so naturally. But Sneeky keeps it personal, never drifting into imitation.
Then there’s the outro.. it slowly opens up and hits with this subtle emotional weight that lets you rethink your whole existence.
This single will definitely stick with you: it’s the kind of song you come back to when you need to feel something real.
